The critical and specialty minerals stocks box score for Thursday was a weak 78-91-141 as the TSX Venture Exchange added one point to 973. Lithium Americas Corp. (LTH) traded busily but lost a bit of ground today, dipping seven cents to $4.09 on 3.07 million shares. "Onshoring industrial-scale lithium by late 2027," bellows the company's website, as Lithium Americas presses ahead with development of its Thacker Pass lithium mine in Nevada.

Moe Jiwan's Zentek Ltd. (ZEN) jumped six cents to 85 cents on 262,000 shares. The company is ramping up its Albany graphite promotion on multiple fronts, more than a dozen years after its previous offensive petered out. That initial wave, led by then chief executive officer Aubrey Eveleigh, took the company's stock to $5 in 2013. A subsequent resource estimate halved the stock, and an initial preliminary economic assessment halved it again. Later enthusiasm about graphite and graphene products -- the spiel of executive chairman, Dr. Francis Dube -- subsequently took Zentek to $7.50 late in 2021, but those stories quickly grew old as well.
